Edmonton Boom Lift Training

Edmonton Boom Lift Training - Elevated work platforms, also called aerial platforms, enable workers to perform jobs at heights which will otherwise be unreachable. There are various types of lifts meant for different site applications and conditions. If not carefully operated, elevated work platforms could result in serious injury or death. The most common causes of related accidents are falls, electrocution, crushed body parts and tip-overs. Lift operators must be trained completely in procedures to be able to avoid accidents during the operation of lifts.

The Aerial Lift Safety program offers needed resources in order to help people required to learn how to operate these devices more effectively. Through the course, participants would receive thorough instruction. Kinds of lift covered comprise boom supported, scissor and articulating aerial lifts. The video presents the correct methods operators should follow. Instruction focuses on pre-operational inspection, protection against falls, stability of the device and safe driving procedures.

The program addresses employee safety and equipment reliability. All instructional materials are compliant with provincial, state and Government agency regulations and requirements. Training techniques and course management would be taught. The trainer will also know the technical aspects of aerial lift safety.

Components of the Boom Lift Training program consist of both practical training and classroom training. Both sessions must be successfully finished for the participant to receive a certificate of achievement.

The difference between self-propelled elevating work platforms and self-propelled boom-supported elevating work platforms is that, on the latter type, work platforms could be positioned completely beyond the base of the machine. The theoretical training part is almost identical for both kinds. The practical training part can be completed faster if just one type of equipment is utilized.

Elevating Work Platform Training Program Objectives:

For safely operating Boom-Type Elevating Work Platforms and Self-Propelled Elevating Work Platforms, boom lift training would help operators utilize their machinery more effectively and would lessen the chances of accidents in the workplace. Trainees would review of applicable rules and company polices, discuss Due Diligence, review Criminal Negligence and consequences to employers, trainers, supervisors and workers. Participants will review machine features, stability, operating procedures, parking and charging/fueling procedures. Site-specific safety concerns will be addressed.
